Episode 1: Pilot
It's the 80's (1984 exactly), and Corey has a go-nowhere job in San Francisco, he's in his twenties, and life sucks. Corey, a musician of non-eighties style is not achieving the success that he was looking for. Sophia, Corey's bisexual ex-girlfriend, is now hitting on his sister. Now life really sucks.
To try to make his life better, Corey tries a marketing job at his father's company. Unfortunately, this musician cannot make simple slogans for "The Gutwhacker." Now he has to go back to Permanent Record, the music store where he works. As if to make life worse, Sophia has just kissed his sister!
Corey's anguish isn't over yet, at Permanent Record a new co-worker shows up, Tuesday, the "Punk Rock Rooster." Immediately she and Corey don't get along, and many jokes are made about hair (her spiked, and his sloppy). This wise-cracking cluminates with Tuesday and Corey going for coffee together.

Episode 2: Valentine's Day
It's Valentine's Day, 1984. At Permanent Record there has been the arrival of a heart-shaped box of candies. Margaret, the owner, tells Corey that the box is for Tuesday, for whom he has feelings after the coffee at the end of the last episode. Margaret also tells Tuesday who the box of chocolates is for, which in this version is Corey.
Corey's personal hell continues as Katie, his sister, has him wearing a rediculous pink t-shirt for Valentine's day, and later he is mocked at work by Tueday once again, not only for his impersonation of Mr. T, and then for his failure to remove the Valentine's Day shirt from Katie.
Things are looking up for Katie, as Owen, her Navy boyfriend is coming home for Valetine's Day. Complications arise when she and Owen cannot get enough time to themselves to give Owen a story to tell when he returns to the Navy base.
R.T., the father is having a terrible time on the day of love when his ex-wife wants to use the Rosareto time-share with her new boyfriend, Steve. He, while initially happy is somewhat disturbed that he won't find the girl for him, and that his ex-wife may be much happier than he.
R.T.'s depression is hampering Katie and Owen's sex possibilities, and they must entertain him, and look to cure him at Club Berlin. This doesn't work, and the entire family, along with Sophia ends up back at Corey's house.
Katie's patience runs out, and she tells everyone what they are doing wrong, and she and Owen make it up to the bedroom with three hours left to go.
Corey and Tueseday find out that neither one of them sent the box of chocolates, and it is revealed that Robert Plant sent Margaret the chocolates. The episode ends with Corey and Tuesday bonding a lot more, with Tuesday wiping chocolate off of Corey's face, and Margaret saying "I don't remember it ever taking this long" (by that Margaret means Corey and Tuesday dating).
Episode 3: Tuesday Comes Over
Corey, unfortunately, is in a quandary; Katie has taken to being an environment fenatic. Shaving is now forbidden in the house; plastic is not biodegradable, and the shaving cream is toxic to the environment. Shaving must now occur with Katie's girl razor, as she is not ready to be a hairry environmentalist. Worst of all, the toilet paper is made of recycled, non-coloured paper, namely dictionaries.
Tuesday is also in a quandry, she has recently moved out from her room-mates to her car, but that's not what she tells Corey at the Permanent Record; she tells him that she has just freed herself of room-mates, and is living in a more simple place.
Corey is also lying, as he tells Tuesday that he is having a problem with room-mates when he comes into work with his face filled with the new, brown toilet paper. He claims to live in a simple home, and this backfires.
Katie discovers that Tuesday lives in a car, and offers that she live at her house with herself, Corey, and J.T.
Tuesday comes over, and Corey walks in on her walking out of the shower. Both people discover that one another have lied, and are now bonded in shame.
